November 3-6

They sat down for breakfast when Priestess Cassandra showed up with four student witches and two vampires. There was a knock at the door. Sandra answered it. "Please come in and sit in the great room," she said, pointing the sofas off to the side. "I will get Alpha Julianna." She then turned and went into the cafeteria. "Alpha Julianna, your guest has arrived."

"Thank you, Sandra, but please call me Jules like everyone else."

"Ok, Alpha Jules."

She turned toward Alpha Jonas. " Would you like to head to our office and let me bring Priestess Cassandra there so we can work out anything privately?"

"Yes, having a private leader's meeting would be better." He looks at Sandra. Can you bring the students in here for breakfast? Then, show Cassie to the office. We will eat after we work out our differences."

"Yes, alpha." She left the room."

He stood and said, "Let's go to the office."

Jules stood up and followed. She looked at everyone and said, " Be kind to our guest." She then followed Jonas.

When they got into the office, he sat down behind the first desk, and  Jules sat behind the second desk. " You going to tell me why you're this upset? Until yesterday, you have been kind, but yesterday and even this morning, you have been glaring and ignoring me."

He sighed and blew out a breath. " Last year, one of the pranks put one of my student in the ICU. I wanted the witch student who did it expelled and to serve time. She is lucky he lived, or it would have been the death penalty because I was having hard time controlling my wolf."

Cassandra replied, "I refused to do it. It was a spell gone wrong. She was given 300 hours community service. Every other witch who watched it without stopping her even got between 50-200 hours." Jonas growled, but kept quiet.

Jules asked, "why the various hours and not all the same hours?"

"They were all high school students. The younger Freshman received 50 hours, Sophomore received 100, Juniors received 150 and seniors were 200.
The one who tried to cast the spell was only a sophomore and was given 300, but I refused to put her in jail. Jonas knows I would have stopped him from enacting the death penalty.  That is when we decided to stay off each other's territory. When we played each other in sports he requested that each council bring extra security and be done on nuetral territory.

"It took the witches council six months to reverse that spell and they had to cast a special air spell so he could keep breathing."

"What type of spell did the witch cast?"

"She meant to cast a spell to have goop spill over her victim. She said the wrong words and somehow had goop coming out of him. When she tried to reverse it, it stopped coming out, but it was stuck inside. How the council finally got it reversed was a memory spell, but the witch was so upset she had blocked the spell from her memory. It took them months to unblock her memory of the words she actually used. It was then they had her properly reverse and cancel the spell."

"How old was the girl who cast the spell?"

She was fifteen and as I stated a sophomore. She was challenged to cast an advance spell from a wolf"

"Wait a damn moment. Who challenged her? How come I was never told about this challenge?"

"You were too emotional about it and we did tell the wolf's council. He was brought back to his pack. The council took care of it."

"The only student who withdrew at the end of last year  was Alpha-to-be..."

Cassie shouted, "stop. He already was hurt enough because he lost his mate bond because of a childish prank gone wrong. She lost her beloved over it. The councils on both sides felt that would be there punishment. I cast a forget me not spell on them so neither would go mad."

He gasped, "I should have been informed of this. That is too harsh  a punishment to lose a mate."

Cassie said, "you were ready to rip the guilty one  apart."

He nodded his head, "I was wrong. I did not handle almost loosing my nephew."

Cassie said, "no one ever told me his relationship to you. That explains the anger. Guess both sides kept secrets from the other party."

Jules let out a sigh. "Now do you think you can put aside these feelings to build a team? We have to figure out our powers to correct the false teachings."

Jonas replied, "I am willing to try now that I know more facts."

Jules smiles, "I am hungry. Let us go eat. Then afterwards we will talk about how to find all our powers."

Jonas says, "wait if you are here who will run your school?"

Cassie replies, "I have placed Amelia in charge. Today sunset is 5:46 pm. I will make a circle of answers for each of you to stand in. You will each get your answer when the Sun officially sets. You each will go into a trance like state and be explained how your power will work. Then I can build a learning curriculum for each of you."

They went and joined the others for breakfast. When they were done with breakfast Jules stood up, "With it starting to snow outside I think today would be a good day to just relax, but before we do we need to get our new members set up in their own homes." She looked at the witches and vampires, "Will you all want one bedroom cabins, a large house you all share. We also have several two bedroom cabins."

Samuel replied, "Maddie and I are engaged. We love to spend time together, but are not intimate yet."

Maddie blushed and replied, "Samuel that is TMI and we will take a two bedroom cabin."

Sara replied, "Conley and I also are engaged, but only need a one bedroom." She giggles when she states that.

Zennia replied, "Monroe and I are each other's beloved. We are married, and are expecting twin pups soon. If we can have two bedrooms and set one up like a nursery we would appreciate it.

Sophia who was standing by the door, "we have a three bedroom house we can place you in. One room is already set up as a nursery." She then looked at Jonas, "I spent yesterday with the warriors help setting up a three bedroom for you. We moved copies of what you have at your home placed in your nursery in your cabin."

She looked at the witches, "I will have my nieces show you your cabins." She looked at Cassie, "priestess Cassandra what would you like?"

"Please everyone here just call me Cassie or Cass. I only go by Priestess when I am doing a ceremony or appearing before the council." She then looked at Sandra, "Can I get a four bedroom home? Set up two as bedrooms. One for me and one for any guest I might have. One for my office because I still have a school to run. Plus one set up for storage and a potion room?"

Sophia looked at the alpha and Vicki replied, "give her the cottage by the small greenhouse. This way she can grow what she needs. Plus that house has a mudroom and leads into a dry room which should work as a potion room.  That house is a three bedroom only. If it doesn't work, please let me know there is a workroom shed we can ask Rodney to convert over. It is between the small greenhouse and that Maude used."

Jules looked at Sophia, " for lunch today just set out items and everyone can make sandwiches, salads and chips for their lunches whenever they want to eat. We will eat supper at 4:30. Just make it spaghetti with garlic toast. We need to all meet in the court yard outside after supper. Until then everyone is free. Sondra from now on everyone will eat together since all meals are done at the buffet."

Then everyone got up and headed out until supper. After the meal the Elementals went outside with Cassie. The others scattered back to their duties or various places. They saw  10 circles. It was odd the circles appeared to be like a meadow in the summer surrounded by snow.. "I need everyone to get into a circle with their mate," said Cassie. Everyone began moving into a circle

"Jules, where is your mate?"

"He is back at my old pack mated to my sister illegally."

"We need someone to represent your mate."

Sam stepped forward. He and Jonathon had been at the edge of the courtyard guarding them, "I am willing to help Alpha Jules or I can run to get Seer Randolph."

"Which would you prefer?"

"Sam thank you for volunteering, but Randolph.has been with me when I shifted to the elemental. I will link him to come here."  She sent a link, "Randolph, I need a partner for this spell. Would you mind stepping in to help me again?"

"I am sorry, but I am busy. I won't make it there in time. Have Sam help you. You will need his protection."

Jules dropped the link and turned to Sam. "Randolph said to use you. That I will need your protection. Is the offer still there?"

"Yes, Alpha Jule," Sam walked to the circle and joined her.

Cassie reached up and took one of her necklaces off. This has  Tiger Eyestone & Hematite stone for protection plus Black Obsidian  Healing Crystal  for Anxiety Relief. Wrap this necklace around each of your wrist to bind you two together and look at each other . Everyone else faces each other. Hold each other's hands and look at each other." They all did as instructed. Now start saying, 'Goddess show us the answer we seek.' Keep repeating it until you don't need to."

The witches started saying, "Goddess show us the answers we seek." They added two foot stomps. They repeated the words and actions. The others soon joined in.

While they did that Cassie looked at Jonathan, she waved her arms and very slowly swirled in a circle chanting in an ancient language, "quicunque volentibus nocere." When her circle was complete. "You will no longer need to patrol the border. Call all border patrols in."

"You are not my alpha."

"I am the only leader you have while they are seeking answers." She added a force to her voice, "Do it now." He linked and called them in. "When they get here you will spend this evening taking turns guarding them. The rest of the time you will train, eat, rest or guard."

"Yes, mam." he bowed his neck to her. He went back to guard position."

Meanwhile, Finn and Michelle appeared in an area that smelled like a fire had recently burned. They both stopped chanting. Finn let go of one hand. Michelle started to let go of the other hand, but Finn growled and squeezed her hand tighter.  They looked around at the barren fire ravaged land. Michelle pointed off to the left about half a mile away, "what is that area?"

Finn looked, "is that plants? Let's get a closer look."

When She started to drop her hand from where she was pointing, a path of green grass followed her hand's motion and it stopped at their feet.she looked surprised and pointed toward various other areas. The green path followed wherever she pointed.

Finn smiled as he watched his mate turn everything she pointed to green. "Your power is nature. Think of wildflowers and trees."

Michelle started concentrating on flowers and trees. Her browl started sweating. All the sudden her eyes rolled back and she passed out. Finn grabbed her before she hit the ground and held her in his arms.

They appeared back in the circle. Cassie smiled, "she will be ok. She overused her power. Take her back to your cabin and care for her. When she gets back her strength she will wake up."

Finn nodded and started to carry her to their cabin. He stopped and turned back to Cassie, "How come I was not given an answer?"

"You already knew your power. Did you not recognize the location?  Your circle took you back to the area you caught fire."

"That place looked large. The fire I created wasn't that big. Plus, she already knew her power also."

"Yes, she knew her power, but her question was would she be able to restore any areas destroyed in war. It really bothered her that the land was still scorched. She could not fully restore the territory she loved back, she wondered how could she restore other places. She was doubting her power. With your love supporting her she learned she can do it. Just will have to teach her how to do it and not drain her power."

"You can do that?"

"Yes, I can teach you all now to control your power and not let it control you. You were in a magical place which is why it looked large. Though Symposium members and students will wonder how that place was restored overnight. Head to your cabin now and get rest."

He turned and carried his mate to their cabin. He laid her in bed and he laid down beside her to sleep.

Faye and Edmond were in a garden by a tree. Next to the tree were two people. When they arrived by the tree they stopped chanting and dropped their hands and went on alert. They turned and both growled at the couple. Edmond asked, "who are you? Are you here to share how our powers will work since we know them?"

The one man answered, "we will guide you when your in your dreams."

Faye ask, "how do you know how to guide us?"

The woman smiled, "my grandmother was a witch. While my grandfather was Lycan. My mother was half witch and Lycan. My father was the alpha. Dad tried to stop me from learning. Grandma taught me in my dreams like I will teach you. When I met my mate he was an alpha. We were together for sixteen years when my mate and I were killed. He had no problem with me doing witchcraft. But the craft could only pass on to the women's side. Before our deaths I could not share my skill with my oldest son.

Edmond looked at her, "I was not expecting to meet my in-laws today."

Faye's mouth dropped in shock. She looked at her mate, "what do you mean?"

"Look at them. Her coloring is like Franks. Plus he got her nose. Frank's looks have a similar facial shapeto your father. Though you and Finn have his cheeks and coloring. Your jawline is like hers."

She turned, "are you my parents?"

They nodded and she ran to her parents. "Will Finn and Frank be able to see you?"

"You are my daughter. I can only talk to you since you are the only one I can share. Our gift only runs runs on the women's side.  Once you learn to master your dreams you can invite others in. We can have a family reunion."

The man said, "our time is almost up. Tell Frank to be careful of my brother."

"Can you tell me if we have other family members on your side, mom?"

"I had no siblings, when your dad and I mated our tribes merged together. My mom had two older sisters. Cassie is your cousin. She is my sister's oldest daughter. Though she did not know until today.

Edmond growled, "the priestess is her cousin? But she is so much older. She could be her grandmother."

"I was a late in life baby. My sisters were twenty-five years older than me. Since she set up the circle she can follow what happens in them. She just cannot interfere."

All the sudden Faye and Edmond were back in their circle in the courtyard.

Frank and Maureen stopped chanting as soon as everyone else disappeared. They were still in the courtyard. They saw Cassie cast her spell and commanded Jonathan what to do. When all was done she looked at us, "go to your cabin. There will be  teaching this week. You two had no question to be answered at this time." They took off back to their cabin very confused.

Sam, Jules, Mitchell arrived in a cemetery, Mitchell looked at Sam and Jules hands bound together by a necklace. He growled, "where the hell are you? Who the hell are you with?" He looked at Sam, "You know she is my mate."

Sam growled back and took a step in front of Jules. "I am her protector against assholes like you. She cannot be your mate since you carry another ones mark."

"Mitchell, you illegally mated my sister? I told you by law you cannot mate her until I officially reject you based on council laws. I informed you that until the one year mark and you are punished for your crimes I would not reject you."

He laughed. "It does not work that way any more. Either become my second mate or die."

"I will do neither."

He pointed to the ground and dead bodies started to crawl out of the graves. "I recently learned a new skill. Come back with me or my Zombies I control will kill you and your protector.

Sydney, Lily, Jonas and Vicky appeared. Jonas used his alpha tone, "stop this nonsense now."

Mitchell stopped and looked at him. "Don't know who you are, but you're not my alpha. Alphas cannot come between mates. Jules is my mate."

"This is the asshole you told us about?"

Vicky all the sudden said, "the dead are talking to me. They do not want to be here.  They said he is controlling them. They want to go back to the garden with their loved ones. He needs to stop interfering with ancient graves."

The dead started moving toward them. Lily waved her hand and froze them. Sydney pointed to the closest zombies and they all started to disappear.

Mitchell growled, "what the hell. This cannot be happening." He pointed to the ground again, and in different areas the zombies started coming out, "you are not the dead I called, but you can attack them." The zombies started to move toward them.

Vicky said, "they are confused. They too do not want to be here."

Lily pointed and froze them and Sydney pointed and they disappeared. They repeated this action until no more would appear. Mitchell kept pointing to the ground and no one was appearing. He growled, shifted and tried to lunge at them, but he hit an invisible wall and bounced back. "Noone tries to attack my mate and pups."  Jonas shifted and lunged too. He also bounced back. They both shook their heads. "Shit we cannot leave our circles."

Mitchell swirled around and lunged toward Sam and Jules. Sam shifted and the necklace shifted and became a long leash attached to his front paw. He got one bite on Mitchell's leg. Mitchel got a bite on the neck. instead of bleeding out he instantly healed Sam. Jules was concentrating on keeping Sam healed. The two wolves were locked in combat.

Vicky yelled, "Freeze him."

Lily yelled back, "I am trying but might hit Sam. I don't know if that would kill him."

All the sudden Sam was on his back and Mitched jumped toward him with his jaw wide open. Sam started moving his legs and used his claws to rip into Mitchell's stomach. After clawing his stomach he pushed his legs outward and sent Mitchell flying. He hit the ground near Jules. He was dazed. She shifted and aim her mouth toward his neck for a death kill.

Next thing she knew Sam, Sidney, Lily and her were back in the courtyard. They were no longer in the cemetery.

Cassie waved her hands and they all immediately calmed down. They were clothed and back in their human form. Jules looked around, "where is Jonas and Vicky?"

Cassie replied, "you got your answer. They will stay in their circle until their questions are answered. In the circle you cannot be killed. Your bite would have killed him so you were brought back here."

Meanwhile, Lucas was smacking his body trying to break free from the circle when all the sudden everyone outside his circle disappeared. He looked around and his mate came up to him. She touched him and he immediately calmed down. She linked him, "they are all safe with Cassie, and Mitchell is back at his pack."

"How do you know that?"

"Apparently my gift is talking with spirits. We have a couple spirits who will be coming here. They said they have a special gift for you."

All the sudden a very large Lycan appeared and a witch appeared. Jonas got in front of his mate growling. He was tense again. Vicky pleaded, "Lucan give Jonas back control. These are who I told you were coming to help you find your element." He growled again and began pacing, keeping himself between them and his mate."

The man spoke up, "I know your wanting to protect your mate after what happened? I promise I will not hurt your mate. I would protect her like you have protected my grandpups."

Lucas looked surprised he could understand them. He still did not let his guard down.

"Let me introduce my mate and I. I am the one of the grandfathers of Frank, Finn and Faye. 'My name is Alpha Quinton Grimloch. This is my mate Luna and Priestess Victoria Grimloch. We prefer to be called Quin and Tori. The reason you can understand and hear us now is my mate enhanced your mate's ability." he nodded his head at Tori and they no longer was in the cemetery. Instead they were in what appeared to be in a library that is hidden in a deep cave.

Tori said, "your circle is going to expand to cover this ancient library and house. Your power is now going to be able to read and instantly absorb all these books. Once you read something when that knowledge is needed you will be able to tell others what it is. These books contain ancient spells, history and knowledge of prophecies past and present. My husband is in charge of this library and you are the first person he has ever given full access. Your gift will only guide you to what you will need. However if a book catches your attention that is not a must read. You can ask for it to be placed in your shelf.

While you are reading we have a sofa off to the side your mate can sit on. She can talk to anyone who appears since only ghost librarians ever come in here. You can browse or just name a subject you wish to study. They can gather it up for you. We have books that go back hundred of years or was released last week. If they don't have it they can reach out to our sources to get it."

"How about getting books about Stinger Pack, Grimloch Tribe, Crater Pack, Colloquy Coven  and Stuart Clan."

"Smart man looking into the history of who all is currently in the RV pack. Though you should add Raven, Eagle and Falcon Pack."

"Why do you suggest their packs? Frank  just left their pack. He trained them to fight before coming here."

Quin looked at his mate and they seemed to be linking each other. Quin sighed, "as ghost we can see past and present. Sometimes we get glimpses of the future. Those three packs are run by cousins.There grandfather had three triplet sons. The grandfather gave each son a territory. Several years ago the sons and their mates were killed by rogues. The cousins took over their own territories between ages 15-19 years. They have been fighting rogues since. Their grandfather was angry about the loss of his three sons and drifted away to false teaching. They are upset about the eight pups for the humiliation of trying to cheat. They plan to attack and kill those pups and their teacher, Gideon Strauss. I just don't know when, but the Moon Goddess says their deaths cannot happen. Which is the only reason I am able to share with you."

"I have to warn him. I need to go back and tell Frank. He knows who they will be."

Tori said, "Cassie can see what is going on but not hear us because of this place being enchanted with ancient magic. Ask the librarian for paper and pen. Vicky will go and write it down and hold it up to the ancient mirror above the sofa. Cassie will be able to read it and get it done. She can write Cassie about updates. We need to get you reading because you need will need to return within a week."

A librarian appeared with history books. Another one appeared with a book about past elemental wolves, and several spell books. "Jonas, start reading and everything you read you will remember. You will be like a sponge. That is your gift."

A librarian appeared at a table beside Jonas with pens and markers. Tori and Vicky went to that table. Vicky sat down and wrote...

Priestess, tell Frank to call his friend, Gideon Strauss
to bring the eight pups here. Sneak out because the cousins plan to attack and kill them. They must keep hidden and arrive here safely.

Tori said, "So he doesn't doubt it, tell him the ghost of Victorian Grimloch and mate are here in our circle. My daughter was Miriam. His mother was Francis. He was named after her. Which his uncle thought meant Frank had the witch's gift. He did not know the gift only carried down the woman's side."

"Frank knew about the gift?"

"He knew his mom was part witch. That is something his uncle was ashamed off and he killed them. He was glad he saw no power of witches but he wants them dead partially because it is in their blood, but mostly because of his greed for power."

Vicky resumes writing...

Frank will doubt this message. This warning comes from Victoria Grimloch's ghost. She said she knows he knows the history. She is his great grandmother, She said her daughter was Mariam. His mother was Francis. He was named after her. After Francis died your uncle tested you for witches gift and you had none. Those test were painful. He just did not know the gift only passed to the women's side. He thinks the witch part of the family is gone.

We are ok and will return when our time is up. They mentioned we only have a week."

Vicky.

Russell and Jenny looked around. They were by a large fire surrounded by witches. One witch called out, "why are you here Gamma Russell. Our councils have said we are not to cross into each others areas."

Russel looked at the witch, "Aren't you Priesteds Cassandra's second, Amelia?"

"Yes, but you did not answer my question. Why are you here?"

"The Priestess put us in a circle of answers and this is where we came. If you do not believe me contact her."

"The circle of answers haven't been used in a long time. I only ever saw it enacted once when I was a teenager. Are you sure you want the answer? I can send you back now with no answers. You might not like what you discover."

"My mate, Jenny and I will find out the answers now or in the future no matter what. At least here we find out in a control environment. We can learn how to control it."

"What are you needing to learn to control?"

Russ looks around at the witches, "unless you take the vow of silence I cannot tell you."

"Sneaky, we take the vow and we speak of what we learn we will dye."

"Let me rephrase you can talk about amongst yourself or the parties involved until it becomes public knowledge."

"What if it never becomes public knowledge?"

"I can guarantee it will become public knowledge. But should add to help keep this knowledge safe until then that if anyone here takes the vow and shares it that the person they share it with will also die. I will add you can share if the Priestess, Alpha Jonas, Beta Michelle, Alpha Julieanna (whom you haven't met yet) grants permission to certain individuals."

"Some of us have spouses who are not here and keeping secrets from them can hurt their relationships."

"I know how it is when I have to keep secrets of pack affairs from my mate. I always tell her pack affairs I cannot share. She is forgiving and understanding." Russ looks around at the witches and some have looks of uncertainty. "Here is the deal. They come to you as a couple. If their spouse agrees to take the vow then they can share with no consequences. If they don't take the vow then they know there is a secret between them, but wont know what it is until it becomes public knowledge."

"It must be a powerful secret if your willing to share but add all these stipulations.  I agree to your terms." She looks at all the witches here, "if you are willing to take the vow with the stipulations you stay here. If you wish to abstain from the knowledge then step out of the circle of light." Noone moved. "I am going to cast a dome of silence around us and will add to your stipulations that anyone who discuss what we learn tonight will also cast dome of silence around the ones they share this knowledge."

"What does dome of silence do?"

"It means that those outside our area cannot hear what is said."

Jenny ask, "can you make it that you and Cassie..."

"You dare call her that and not priestess?" a few witches scream out.

Jenny looks startled and steps behind her mate. She says in a shakey voice, "Priestess Cassandra granted us permission to call her Cassie."

Cassie appears beside them. All the witches get quiet and kind their heads to her. "I granted them both that privilege." She looks at Amelia, "you are leading tonights gathering. Though when I placed them and the others in their circles I did not know they would end up here at a Coloqay gathering. I have been watching what is going on with them." She looks at Jenny and holds out her hand, "come out from behind Russ and finish your question."

Jenny takes the hand and steps out, "I am sorry for offending anyone by saying Cassie instead of Priestess Cassandra. What I was wondering is can the spell your going to cast can be that Second Amelia and Priestess Cassandra know immediately that person breaks the vow. This way they will know why they died. Though honestly instead of death could it be their tongues get twisted and they cannot talk nothing but gibberish until they see one of you two to break that spell and you give them punishment?"

Russ looks at his mate, "I know you hate the thought of death, but that is the only way we can guarantee every ones safety."

Cassie replies, "I do agree with Russ, but for your gentle heart we will cast it your way. However, know they will most likely still be given death sentence since this vow is a sacred vow to us. My dome will break when you get ready to bring those out of light in. The vow will still be part of what you learn then."

Jenny nods, "but this might save an innocent since I can see or smell several women here are expecting."

Cassie looks at Amelia, "cast the vow of silence spell giving anyone who dares break it a twisted tongue. Make the spell that they will immediately land in the jail to await trial. I will cast the dome of silence. Plus give the amnesia spell to those outside the circle of light who overheard this conversation. Their amnesia will include ever seeing Russ and Jenny here."

A few minutes later Amelia speaks, "I have cast the vow of silence as directed. Since you all agreed to stay in the circle of light you are all pledge to it." she looks at Russ, "Gamma now why did you make us go through all this?"

"The Moon Goddess has discussed false teachings are getting out of control. She has brought back ELEMENTALS WOLVES, WITCHES, and VAMPIRES to correct the wrong. My mate and I are two of the wolves. Priestess Cassandra placed us as I mentioned earlier into the circle of answers for us to discover what are element is and we ended up here."

Many gasps are heard around the fire. Before anyone could say anything Cassie held up her hand, "SILENCE, what he says is true. We know about the dark witches coming back. We must somehow be involved. We will discuss this later but for now let Amelia take over the reason for tonight's gathering. I have to get back to the other circles. Once I disappear I will not be able to see them because of the dome has broken the circle of answers. Amelia you will have to bring them back to me once you feel they have their answers." She then disappears.

The witches and vampires all appeared in a large greenhouse. They saw plants that looked dead, jars of seeds, containers of natural fertilizer, shovels, a pile of dirt. It looked like it was an abandoned place based on dated items from four years ago.

These three circles disappeared. They all started walking around and exploring. Conley walked toward the door to look outside, "we are still on the RV territory. I can see the lodge and several of the cabins from here."

Samuel replies, "lets get this place cleaned up." He pointed to how dirty the windows were. A light wind came out of his hand and started moving all the dirt and grime off the greenhouse windows. All the dirt and grime moved to pile of dirt in the corner.  He pointed to the floor and dirt from the floor all moved. "I know Priestess Cassie showed me a little on co trolling the wind, but did not realize I could use it like this."

Conley pointed up and the whole building lit up, "Now we can. All see. Your able to move the surface dirt but we need to remove the ground in dirt. Lets get cleaning."

The door opened and in walked Rodney the maintenance man, "what are your thoughts? All doing in here? How did you get the lights on? There is a short in the line and I was coming in to rewire it."

Conley replied, "my element is light. The light in here is magic. We are here because this is where the priestess circle brought us. We figure this is where we will find our answers."

Rodney nodded, "my mate asked if I could get this place cleaned up so she can have fresh food and spices. Last time this place was used was when Maude passed away four or five years ago."

Sara replied, "that would explain the dated items of hour years ago. Can you ask your mate to give us a list of what.she wants. We can see what seeds we have here."

"No need to ask her, in the back there is an office. We  saw a diagram of what was planted where. She told me to follow that design, but I need to get the short fixed. Did not want to start a fire. Since the Priestesssent you here then you can fix that while I work on the wiring. The fuse box is in the back office. Follow me and I can show you the diagram." He walked toward the back and they followed him.

They looked at the diagram and Ridney started working on the fuse box. They heard the door open as feet running, "Dad you here?"

"I am back here with the witches and vampires."

The feet skidded to a stop at the entrance. They turned to see two identical boys. "Mom sent us our here to help you."

Rodney looked at them, "How rude of me. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Rodney. I do maintenance. These two our my youngest, Stanley on the left and Stuart is in the right. They are thirteen." He looked at the boys, "the priestess sent them here to get the large greenhouse going. You follow their directions."

Monroe walked over to them. He held out his hand, "I am Monrow,  I saw a couple wheelbarrows outside and a compost pile. How about you help me bring mix up the old with new compost. Then we bring it in to mix with the dirt."

"We can do that." They followed Monroe outside.

Conley looked at Rodney, "my name is Conley and this is my fiance, Sara."

Zennia spoke up, "I am Zennia and my beloved Monroe. "

Samuel said, "hello, my name is Samuel and this is my fiance, Maddie. If you need help let me know. My dad was human and a contractor. I grew up helping him."

"I am at first going to replace this fuse box. Several of these fuses are burnt out. Then will have to start pulling off the old wiring to layout new."

"While you do the fuse box I will pull down the old wiring."

Everyone went to work cleaning and preparing for a new life in this building.

Monroe picked up the plants that dead and started to pull the dead plants out when all the sudden they blossomed to full life. He was startled and dropped the plastic planter. "What the hell. Look."

Everyone came running over. Sara  said, "it is a plant. Guess we missed one live plant when glancing around." She picked it up and it fully blossomed with green beans. She startled and it started to fall when Conley caught it set it on the table."

Monroe replied, "but that plant was fully.dead and all the sudden became green."

Conley said, "go around and touch all the dead plants. Samuel and Maddie you move the plants he revives to the end of the tables according to the diagram. Stuart run and get your mom. She can tell Sara what plants. And how many plants to bring to full harvest now so they won't be too many and the food rots. The rest of us will go back to what we were doing."

Maddie picked up the first plant and it fully died again. Everyone saw that. "I killed it." she started to cry. "I kill things." She went to Conley crying.

When she touched him all the magical lights went out. "Sweetheart, I don't think you are a killer. You seem to neutralize magic." She took a step back and all the lights came back on. Monroe touched the plant and it came back to life. Sara touched the plant and it was fully ready to be harvested again.

Cassie entered the building, "come here Maddie. I am going  to take you with me. We are going to work with you controlling your very powerful element. This way you won't be undoing what they are doing. Monroe once you are done reviving these plants come meet me at the smaller greenhouse." Just then Stanley came back with his mother, Pamela. "Hello Pamela, I need you to not go into the small greenhouse. You can come here for all the harvesting. I also need Zennia to come with me. I suspect what her power is and it will be proven at the smaller greenhouse."

Zennia and Maddie looked at her. Dennis asked, "why did we come here then instead of the other greenhouse."

"You could only go with your  mate and this place gave the hint of what your power was."

"How did it do that with me?"

"You were standing by those dead plants behind you. I noticed that you started scratching your arms and you instinctively moved away. You stopped scratching. The only item I know you do that too is strawberries."

"Yes, I am allergic to them. It causes anaphylactic reactions with me."

"It is poison for your body and not the others. I think your power detects poison. In the other greenhouse are a lot of plants that were used for spells and potions. Which includes witch hazel, foxglove, and various wolfsbane."

"Someone grew those poisons here?"

"She grew them for the pack and also for the antidote to them. Jonas' father knew about it, but not Jonas. Now everyone get back to work." she turned and walked out followed by Maddie and Zennia."

A couple days later Jules and Frank walked up to Cassie, "Cassie, we are having pack members asking when Jonas will return?"
